On a random conversation with my non Yu-Gi-Oh playing friend today, I was discussing to him about how the Blackwings were winning with their speed and swarming capabilities. Upon the continuous flow of conversation, I ended up explaining to him the strengths and weaknesses of every one of the top archetypes of today. It was hillarious that I ended up comparing them to Starcraft, as the races that a player is able to choose in that game is somewhat related and connected to today's Yu-Gi-Oh.
First and foremost, I was explaining that Blackwings share a similar style with the Zergs in Starcraft, as they rely on speed and on their swarming capabilities. The units are fairly cheap and easy to summon and they also have the ability to catch players by surprise with Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow.
Then, Gladiator Beasts are similar to Terrans as the concept of the Gladiators are control and heavily fortified defenses, much like Terrans in Starcraft. Their swift methods to deal with their current ordeals and the flexibility they use to react to the situation are their key in winning their duels.
Finally, Lightsworn is best represented by Protoss. Extremely powerful cards with devastating effects at a price-either they are too expensive to build or they pretty much exhaust their resources faster than the other two races. Judgment Dragon is also similar with The Protoss Carrier. Once a fleet is assembled, the game is finished.
Although I am dissapointed that Starcraft II will lack multiplayer function in its first release, I am still looking forward to watching professional matches held by Koreans and be amazed again and again.
This is by far one of my most favored blog posts. Ever.
